A new year, a new thing for the blog. In addition to writing about our adventures in England, I’m going to start posting a workshop roundup every week or two highlighting what happens in the Cycle Heaven York Station workshop. Here are a few things from the past two weeks.
As I’ve been working on a post reflecting on 2011, I realized there were several trips I hadn’t written about. In September of last year Andrea’s mom and stepfather (Wanda and Jim) became the first lucky family members to visit us in England. We had a wonderful time with them visiting some of northeast England’s finest locations.

Today is the second day of a four-day weekend for me, and I’m currently enjoying it in proper English fashion with cranberry Wensleydale cheese, crackers and Yorkshire tea. Yesterday afternoon I went on a 30-mile bike ride on my new Bilenky touring bike through the countryside south west of York. It was my first significant ride on the bike since I brought it over from the U.S. in October.
